First such nonsense...

And I mean it. This isn't my first created blog, but it is the first one I've posted to (and the only one still in existence). My main reason, initially, for this blog is to:

A. Post Sammie's question thingy - just cuz I want to
B. Receive the adoration and attention from my adoring fans

Now, I'm expecting a lot more from reason A, but I've been told that I should start a blog for a long time which has done nothing for my ego and was a driving force behind reason B. My reasoning for not starting a blog before now was/is simple: I'm lazy and may not update on a regular basis. But I figure I'll give it a shot and try to update once or twice a week. Maybe. And probably more often here at the beginning. Maybe. So without further ado, I'll hit reason A.
